WOMAN.R REAL NIGHTS.
Dir. Draper Says They Include al
Opportunity TO Become Doctors.
New YORK Times.l


A meeting was held recently in
Chickering Hall under the auspices Of
prominent physicians and citizens for
the purpose of raising funds for the
Woman's Medical College of the New
York lnfrmary, at 1913 Second avenue.
It is designed to erect a large building,
to include a medical college and hospi-
tai under the same roof, and where
women can have all the advantages Of
the highest training which men enjoy.
The proposed cost is $4,000 of which
$4,000 is already secured. ID. Willis
James presided.
Dr. William II. Draper, the first
speaker, said a very radical change
had come about in public feeling re-
garding the entrance OF women into
the medical profession. 1t was futile
to longer oppose the movement by
questioning the ability or right of
women to study medicine. The
women's college had never sought to
enlarge its income by lowering its
standard, rs some male colleges do.
1t had, besides, done what the State
requires submitted its graduates to
an examination by board of eminent
physicians as well as by its own faculty.
The movement had the sympathy
of some of the most distinguished
men in the profession. 1t had
been urged against female physi-
clans that men would not employ them,
and that, therefore, they had only
limited field But there were enough
women and children to occupy their
time. 1t was said that women had no
confidence in doctors of their own sex,
but it was equally true that many
women preferred to keep silence AMI
lay the foundations of serious diseases
rather than reveal their troubles to
male physicians Woman was espe-
cially fitted to minister to her own sex
and to children and to teach the public
right methods of living and the laws of
health. She came closer to domestic
life and was more critical of small de-
tails. II had been objected that women
could not do scientific work, bat that
remained to be proved. 1t was useless
to discuss the fitness OF women for any
thing unless they received the same
training and had equal opportunities as
men.
Tr. Emily Blackwell, sister OF DR..
Elizabeth Blackwell, the first woman
who received medical diploma in this
country, described the difficulties en-
countered by aspiring women in that
early stage of the movement. Drs. j.
West Roosevelt and Mary Putnam
jacob, and Joseph II. Choate also
made addresses. The Chair then APP
pointed a committee, including Mayor
Hewitt and a number of eminent ply
sicians and citizens, to solicit sub
scrintiOns.

The Czar'S Mood.

1.-THE SPECTATOR
De Quincy, in his wonderful study
Of the early Caesars, the paper in which
his power of suggestive narrative and
his control over the resources of Ian
gUage are perhaps seen at their best,
is, so to speak, driven by wonder at the
wild wilfulness of his subjects to sug-
gest that all the Caesars of the Julian
house were mad. Caligula may have
been, though his symptoms, as re-
corded by Suetonius, are rather those
Of delirium tremens but the theory
which makes of the grand though
sinister statesman, Tiberius, who gave
the Roman monarchy its final impress,
a man of disorGered mind in the Orli-
nary medical sense, will not readily be
accepted as correct. He was no more
mad than Phillip H., whose private
life was much of the same kind.
1t would, as we read history, be far
truer TO say that power, when really
absolute, so absolute that the volition
is executive and the necessity for self
restraint is unfelt, produces of itself
special mental disease, which is
not insanity, because it would
disappear with the power, but
which has at intervals, like the pas
sion of children, many of its external
symptoms and effects. Nero, the artist
emperor, who was always seeking the
impossible, and whom the early Chris
tians believed to be the veritable in
carnation of evil, may be said undoub5-
edly to have suffered from it; 50 did
one or two of the Italian tyrants Of the
Renaissance and so, in our judgment,
though it is a disputable point, did
Ivan the terrible. Power of that sort,
though it does not always injure the
mind-for several OF the Caesars and
some of the Emperors of Delhi were
men of splendid sanity and Judgment
when it happens to fall to man predis-
posed by inherited tendency, or by
drink, or by special solitariness of ma
ture, undoubtedly weakens the restrain
ing force of the will and strengthens
impulse until many of his acts re-
semble closely the acts of madmen.
Half the great sovereigns of Asia, if
their private lives were accurately
known, would be seen to have had their
characters, so to speak, poisoned by
power, as directly as if they had
been poisoned with one of the
drugs which temporarily disturb rea-
son. Drink, wild and continuous
drunkenness with bad brandy, was the
predisposing cause in Peter the Great,
and, it is believed, in Theebaw, and
probably in the Emperor Baber, who,
wise by daylight, would in the moon
light occupy himself with jumping from
battlement to battlement of his palace,
eighty feet from the ground. In Gar
Paul the predisposing cause was proba-
bly, an insane tendency, Though that is
not quite proved; and in Alex
ander III. it is solitariness
almost beyond example. There is
not man in the world more deeply 70
be pitied than the present Emperor OF
Russia. The loneliness OF kings
loneliness naturally resulting from
their place. which hardly admits OF
friendship and does not admit of
equality-is always terrible, and is fire.
quently felt by themselves so severely
that they break through all restraints
of prudence and moral law in order to
be rid of IL.

A GIRL BULL-FiGNTER.
The Portions Feat Performed by "a
Mexican NenOritn.


Just prior to the taking effect OF the
decree against bull-fighting was for
tunate enough to witness contest in
which one Of the most skilful, daring,
expert of the professional fighters of
Mexico took leading part, writes a
City of Mexico correspondent of the
indianapolis Journal. This performer
was young woman, whose equal has
probably never appeared in the PLAZA
de Toros." In this, her farewell exhi-
ton, Senorita Hernandez advertised for
the wildest and fiercest bulls the
country could produce, and agreed
to fight them while wearing
stills. The novelty of a young girl
engaging in a buli-fight handicapped
by having stills fastened to her feet was
sufficient to attract a vast crowd, and on
the day fixed for the event fully five
thousand persons found places to sit or
stand in the large amphitheatre. The
animals provided for the occasion were
small, active, and wholly untamel,
each having his horns trimmed and
polished, until the points were as bright
and almost as sharp as needles. Never
was more expert work done in this cruel
sport than was coolly performed by the
Mexican girl on that day. AS the bull
mad with rage, would make his furious
charge, she would stand until he
had approached within distance
of about three feet, when, sudden
ly sprinping to one side, she would,
as the animal rushed furiously by, with
one hand slap him in the face with the ]
red cloak with which his anger had
been first aroused, while with the other
hand she dexteronsly thrust into his
neck a CANDY barbed banderilla,"
causing him to roar with pain and
rage. Charge after charge was made
by the maddened brute, only to be
eluded by the active girl, while the
bull met the same treatment as be-
fore. The little seforita played with
him, plagued him, and tortured him
as cat would mouse, until the
animal, bleeding and sore and worn out |
with fatigue and pain, gave up the con-
test and would fight no mora. He had
met his conqueror, and was taken from |
the ring.
In the next contest the fair Castilian |
was under an advertised obligation. |
while yet wearing the stills, to kill the |
bull with sword scarcely more than |
two feet in length. This was Il. be done |

ments end enga ements. Most OF
them deal with personal atfaIrs.
Some fellow who led n scout wants
10 hunt up report where his name
is mentioned. A major-general Is
not often any more sure OF facts twenty
five years old than q private, and a DIS
pute with brother officer sends both
here for the record. 1t not inire-
quently happens that unwittingly
deal some of my best friends cruel
blows. A western senator came here
year or so ago and got documents from
me that made Admiral Porter ridicu-
lousy imaginative, where everybody
supposed he was precisely historical, IN
regard 10 President Lincoln's visit to
Richmond at the surrender and an oil
legged interview en- route with DUH
Green. The greater part of the story
turned out to be fiction. One day an
old officer came rushing in, and IN an
excited tone exclaimed:
"'Have you said l was not in the
second battle of Bull Run ?
"'N No, not exactly that, | said.
"Well, Bob Scott, | was told you
said so, and came in here to pnt day
light through you il you stuck to 1t.
"'Ob, no, replied, laughing, /
never said you were not in that battle.
What j said was that you yourself, in
an official report dated the day of the
battle, had said you were in the Cum
berland Valley, hundred miles from
Centreville and Bull Run.
"His eyes looked dizzy and his face
was most amusing picture OF conster-
nation. What | said was true. ] tapped
q bell, called n clerk who brought
the officers official report, and there IN
his own handwriting, over his sigma
ture, in black and white, was his own
word that he was not mt Bull Run. He
read the report through twice 10
silence so solid you could slice 1t.
Then he took his hat, and without
word arose and left the building.
"a prominent officer of my acquaint-
ance has described often in my hearing,
with great minuteness. the battle of the
Monitor and the Merrimac. He told
the story as an eyewitness, described
his field-glass and the point of obserya-
ton. l paid no attention to the mat
ter until | had heard the tale told twice.
Then / became curious and hunted up
the official reports made by this officer.
/ found that if he saw the Monitor and
Merrimac in that battle his field-glass
was a most powerful one. He never
saw the Monitor aud Merrimac fight,
but was at Falls Church the day of the
battle, if his own reports are to be
believed. There is good deal of tic-
ton in our war stories.
"The greatest number of inquiries
about war history" said Colonel Scott,
"come from the South. The Johnnies
fought well, and in the absence of
good deal else to give them satisfaction,
take great pleasure in their fighting.
Nearly all the prominent Confederate
officers have visited this old building,
and hardly day passes that we do not
receive half dozen letters from south
erners asking for information. "

The animal selected for this contest
was beautiful specimen of his race.
Black Ms a coal, agile as cat. savage
and wild, be was no sooner within the
arena than he was ready for the battle.
After he had been permitted to make a
charge or two TO warm him TO his work
the Governor, who presided on the oc-
casion, gave a signal, and the bugle
sounded the "deatb call" The seho-
rita, with stills Of one foot in height
securely fastened to her limbs, received
the short sword. saluted tie Governor,
and, turning to her enemy, gave a shout
of defiance and waved her scarlet cloak
to rouse his anger. At this time the
distance separating the antagonists was
almost 200 feet. Toro, quiverlng with
excitement and paving the earth in his
rage. waited for no second invitation.
With flashing eyes and head lowered to
the ground he started at full speed Tor
the object of his hate. The brave girl
waited until the beast was within
90 feet, when, bracing herself firmly,
she held her sword Mt shoulder height,
reedy for his coming. When within
about four feet she threw her body sud
denly forward, gave a quick thrust with
her sword, and, without waiting to see
the effect of the blow, swung quickly
around and again salutod the Governor.
In the twinkhng of an eye she turned
TO face the bull, and as she did 50 he
dropped dead, so close to her that,
without moving from her position, she
placed one foot upon the neck OF her
now helpless enemy.
The sword. directed by the strong
arm of the self-possessed girl, had sew
cred the spinal cord, and death was IN
Simultaneous and probably painless. 1t
was perilous feat, skilfully and fear
lessly performed, and the slightest
nervousness on the part of the per.
former would probably have resulted
in her death. The great audience, in
recognition of the skill of the brave
toreadora, rose to its feet, and for seye-
raj moments there was a shower Of
gold and silver coins falling around the
victorious girl.
